Schedule a lesson – Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned vet, start your season off right with a lesson from one of our Snow School pros. It’s the perfect way to fine-tune your technique and set yourself up for a great season.
Take a ski or snowboard vacation – Whether it’s with family, friends or your significant other, a ski or snowboard vacation is the perfect way to celebrate winter. Blue Mountain has a wide-selection of winter lodging packages for every style. Blue Mountain Passholders also receive great deals at other resorts such as Tremblant, Whistler, Silver Star, Big White and Red Mountain to name a few. For more information visit bluemountain.ca/lodging or bluemountain.ca/benefits.
Save on slope time – Blue Mountain Double Down cards are on sale until December 13, 2012. The Double Down is the perfect holiday gift or complement to your Season Pass. Also, in celebration of its 10th Anniversary, we’re still offering discounts on the 5x7® Pass until early January. Check out bluemountain.ca/passes for more information.
Tune your gear – Make sure you get your equipment in for a wax, sharpen and safety check after a long summer. Remember, Blue Mountain Season Passholders receive 20% off repair services at the Blue Mountain Repair Shop.
Check out the latest gear – Apparel and equipment keep improving to keep you warmer, drier, more comfortable and take your skiing/boarding to the next level. Check out the first edition of the Blue Magazine for our Blue Mountain Gear Guide from retail stores across the Resort including Lifted, Red Devil and Columbia.
Plan for winter activity – Beat the Winter Blues and stay active with outdoor recreation. Did you know it’s estimated that the average person can burn approximately 360-570 calories per hour while skiing or snowboarding? Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and skating are also favourites and can be booked through our Activity Central.
Stock up on coffee and hot chocolate – Nothing warms the soul and body like a warm beverage after a day on the slopes.
Stay fit – Whether it’s a casual walk, yoga, trips to the gym or the emerging cross-fit phenomenon, get your heart-rate up-to-speed and your body prepared for the slopes.
Tell your friends – Social media is a great channel to reach your friends and fellow winter enthusiasts. Stay up-to-date on everything Blue Mountain via our social media channels and set yourself up for the best winter yet.
Celebrate winter après-ski-style – After a day on the slopes, nothing beats gathering with friends or family at one of Blue Mountain’s famous Après Ski locations. Did you know that Jozo’s Bar was named one of the top après spots in Canada by S Magazine? New this year, Blue Mountain Base Lodges have revamped menus with old favourites and healthy new options.
